The movements used in RMT were originally developed in the 1970s by self-taught therapist Kerstin Linde. These gentle rocking and rolling movements are based on Kerstin's observations of the movements a baby naturally makes before and during birth, as well as those throughout the first year of life. Since then the program has been expanded to included a deeper understanding of the role of movement in development and its connection to primitive reflex integration and neural development. RMT International, as founded by Moira Dempsey, continues to expand the original work of Kerstin Linde into a powerful way of working with people of all ages, promoting the integration of postural, sensory, emotional and behavioural challenges, in a safe and gentle way.

In this 2-day course, participants learn the basics of the Rhythmic Movement Training™ on

The course also includes information on the most important primitive reflexes often involved in ADHD/ADD and how to integrate them using rhythmic exercise.

Topics include:

How RMT builds neuro-sensory-motor foundations for focus and higher level learning skills • Basics in brain development for learning , attention and comprehension
